What a wonderful life to be an artist with the freedom of creating visual art! At the youthful age of 9, Dwight’s interest interest in photography really took off with the purchase of his first 35mm SLR.
Portrait studies are Dwight’s main business, but breaking away from the confines of a studio lets him enjoy the recreational side of art.
“Nature has always provided the best backdrops and stages for all to explore.” Dwight enjoys capturing images that are challenging, or are even considered risky and physical.
“Soaring with the birds, weightless in the clouds, fuels my imagination. There are spectacular, unique locations where where many others will not be able to experience. I will take you there with my camera.”
Dwight’s reward is sharing these ventures through his images.
